Middle School

I thought I escaped them
But now they’re back
This is my home
But they don’t understand
I can’t stand them anymore
And my parents don’t listen
When I want to escape them
And go to my friends
The answer’s always no
So to escape them
I have to go to school
I wouldn’t say it’s worse
But it doesn’t really help
Everyone hates me
That’s middle school for you
One minute you have friends
And the next you don’t
No matter what I do
Where I go
Where I hide
There’s always someone
Watching me
Haunting me
Following me
Telling me to do this
Do that
There’s no easy way out
So I sit here writing 
It helps the pain get out

Myself First

So many thoughts in my head
But where do I start
The anxiety in my mind
Or the pain in my heart
I’m facing this sober
No more letting it linger
The feelings I bottled up
I only traced with my finger
These two months by myself
I’ve felt so alone
Confined in these walls
That I learned to call home
I’ve been working on myself
Because that is what I need
Because I’m the only one
Who can set myself free
These memories I replay
I won’t let them be my prison
So I’m writing it all
Until every thought has arisen
My mind is so full
It’s going to burst
But I won’t bite my tongue
I’m putting myself first

‘Round The Corner

2003 (6th Grade)

Hey you, what’s going on
What’s going on, what’s going on
Don’t you know my plans
Fo-o-or to-da-a-ay

I plan to walk around
Walk around, walk around
Every single corner that I ca-a-an
In o-one day

Then I will walk back home
Walk back home, walk back home
I will see you
And then I will sa-a-ay

[Chorus:]
Hey you, what’s going on
I’m heading around the corner
Why don’t you walk with me
Around the corner
The only place that I’m heading now
Is around the corner
Want to come to-o-o-o-o

And I said

[Echo:]
Round the corner
And round the corner
And round the corner
Then right back home

[Echo:]
Round the corner
And round the corner
And round the corner
Then right back home

Is all that I’m doing

[Chorus:]
Hey you, what’s going on
I’m heading around the corner
Why don’t you walk with me
Around the corner
The only place that I’m heading to
Is around the corner
Want to come to-o-o-o-o
